The 2004 Crianza is a blend of 90% Tempranillo, 5% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 5% Merlot aged for 16 months in used French and American oak. Purple-colored, it boasts an expressive nose of earth, smoke, toast, cherry, and blackberry. This is followed by an elegant, medium-bodied wine with good flavors. The finish is a bit attenuated from firm tannin. Two to three years of additional bottle age may round this wine out.
